IUPAC Name:
(6aR,11aS,11bR)-10-acetyl-11-hydroxy-7,7-dimethyl-2,6,6a,7,11a,11b-hexahydro-9H-pyrrolo[1',2':2,3]isoindolo[4,5,6-cd]indol-9-one
Functional Activity:
Cyclopiazonic acid (CPA)inhibits the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-pump.
It is a toxic fungal secondary metabolite. Chemically, it is an indole tetramic acid.
CPA was originally isolated from Penicillium cyclopium and subsequently from other P. cyclopium, Penicillium griseofulvum, Penicillium camembertii, Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus versicolor.
